Lyon vs Angers prediction

THE FORECAST

Lyon carry a significant injury list but remain 5th in Ligue 1 with a solid home defensive record (0.9 GA per game, 3 clean sheets) and face a side that has yet to earn a point away from home this season. The upcoming Europa League fixture in four days introduces some rotation risk for Lyon, yet the Ligue 1 standings battle makes this match important enough to field a competitive side. Angers' attacking output (1.1 GF per game) and leaky defence (1.9 GA) on the road give Lyon a clear edge, supported by cool, dry conditions that suit a structured home side.
